Following potential 2012 draftees

I'm really liking Bradley Beal. He can rebound the heck outta the ball for a 2 guard and is an excellent passer. I know he has the stroke to get his shot going. Anyone with me??

I was as high on Beal as anyone in the pre-season. His shot only worries me a little because a) I think he'll get the stroke back, and b) he does more on the court than just shoot .. mainly his insane rebounding numbers for a 2G. I like him around 7 - 10.
 
Beal's rebounding #'s are inflated because no one else on Florida rebounds.

Kind of like how Barnes's rebounding #'s are minimized because he plays with Henson and Zeller.
 
I agree with both of you to the nth degree. He has little penetration ability and moves too mechanically like cy said. He'll get exposed in the NBA. He also settles for chucking. We already have a pentrator in Burks. What we need are a stud point and preferably one who can shoot (Lillard/Marshall) and a stud defender at the 3 who can also shoot--Mitchell imo.

Lillard-Burks-Mitchell-Favors-Kanter would be the most athletic starting five in the NBA.

I say get Beal and Tony Mitchell. Then trade Al for a PG or just stick with Harris
 
You know, a guy like Barnes would actually be a good fit on the Jazz. With Burks slashing and Favors/Kanter crashing, having Barnes spotting up wouldn't be a bad thing. I just wish he had more dimensions to his game. We probably wouldn't be able to draft him anyway though, given where we're projected.

Yeah, he would be a good fit as a pure shooter. He is the kind of player I want, because he is good enough to play and defend, but he is also a sharpshooter (at times). I just don't think he is a top 3 pick. He will probably go 5th, no way he last till 8th.

I agree. Just like MKG will be great for some team, but not the Jazz .. Barnes will be a better fit here than most other spots.
